Other online buying tips:
- Do your research and ask questions to make sure you’re not paying more than you should.
- Research the seller – try typing the name and location of the seller into a search engine and see if it raises red flags. On most sites, sellers will have a profile which you can check to see if there are any past customer feedback.
- Closely inspect photos – if a seller has nothing to hide, they will generally provide more photos. And if a photo of a particular angle isn’t available, don’t be afraid to ask for one.
- Don’t be shy about asking questions – any reasonable seller will understand the investment you are making and should be happy to answer your questions.
- Check the service records and research the car in depth.
